Everyone has a favorite place they like to spend time. When Eli was born, his grandmother held him up to the window so the first thing he could see was all the places to love. He loved the valley, the river, the hilltop where blueberries grow, and other places around the farm. Everyone in Eli's family has a favorite place they like to be just like Eli. No matter where he may live, all the places to love are there where he was born.
After reading this story with your students, share all the places you love and why you love spending time there. Then once you have shared, have the students tell there favorite places and why. You will be making a connection with the students and Eli, who's favorite place was the farm, from the story. Remind the students no matter where they may live, they will always have all of their places they love to look back on.
